Why can't I select certain starting equipment?

On VX, I can't seem to select a weapon and a shield at the same time for actor's starting equipment. I pick one, the other defaults back to 'None'. Why is that?

That's because some weapons are two-handed weapons, like the Trident, so RPGVX, in this case, makes sure that the actor doesn't end up with an incompatible combination, such as a two-handed weapon plus another weapon or shield.
